Directions:
Heat a large saucepan or soup pot over medium heat. When hot, add the oil, wait a few moments, then swirl to coat the pan. Toss in the onions and sauté for 5 minutes or until they begin to turn translucent. Add the garlic and spices other than the saffron and stir for 30 seconds to 1 minute until you can smell the garlic and the spices.

Rinse lentils and split peas until water runs clear. Add split peas and lentils to the pot along with the stock and water. Bring to a boil. When it boils, reduce to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes until the split peas and lentils are tender.

Add to the pot the carrots, parsley, rice, saffron, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 15 minutes.

Add the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
